I've asked this question 4 times and every time I get "they are being trained"

My first request was a year ago

Will
I was a moderator for a website that has,at any given time, 3 million hits a day with close to 290k members.....I would not wish that duty on anyone and if no one has done it before then you cannot possibly understand how wretched that duty is.
People who do it for free are crazy. It jades you and makes you insensitive to people's concerns and feelings to the point that you will LOOK for any rules infraction to ban people at times.

Training people...I pity anyone who is being trained to be a moderator No matter what you are told, it is a 8-10hr a day freebie activity
